They are a private owned company, and this is an investment for them, and a personality flag. I just can't see him as a victim, let him tell his story and he may give another kid pause before they act. A cautionary tale at 13 years old? Hang his hide on the wall? Nope. The better thing is if the Coyotes did their due diligence on him (like they said they did) then they should stand behind him as how a person can change and be better. Unless he's still a dumbshit and then they shouldn't have drafted him at all. Again, they claim they researched him. Not every kid can take pause for anything at 13 years old, some don't have a solid foundation enough or the wherewithall, but does that mean they are beyond redemption or empathy? Are you giving up on your son at 13?
But fuck it, nobody cares anyway. Its easier to throw the rocks and dog pile. I have sympathy for the bullied. And I'm not saying this kid that was drafted has remorse, he might not. But nobody will ever know.
It's tough love, I edited and added to the above quoted comment. I've been on both sides of bullying and don't remember any apologies but sure wish I would have made better amends for my transgressions.
